Do you need colour printing?

If not a laser multifunction is in your price range, no clogging or drying out

Otherwise a plethora of inkjet offerings, http://www.invadeit.co.th/category/multi-function-printers/sort/price/asc/

Check out the cost of supplies.

I have a Brother WiFi printer scanner. Works well and not expensive.

I use an Epson ME Office 620F, printer scanner copier. Works well, easy to use. I've had it for a few years now. No problems.

Over the years I have had to replace at least four blasted inkjet/scanner combos due to dried ink.

Now I have

B/W laser printer.

Separate scanner.

Happy days! No dry ink. If one breaks you don't need to buy two devices. So far both are still working perfectly.

Colour prints are taken to the local printing shop.

I have a Brother DCP-T300 printer/scanner/copier with inbuilt refill tank system.

When not in frequent use, the printer automatically cleans itself at regular intervals - no drying out ink and no expensive cartridges.

No problems at all so far (about 9 months).

I think it cost around 4,500 Baht from Tesco.

I have an HP. It is VERY expesive on ink. Since I only use it intermittently. the cartridges, dry out in just under a month and a new black costs £12 from a discounter. Also, it counts the pages and refuses to work even though there is plenty of ink left. I advise you to avoid HP.
